STUPIDLY HUGE MEGA UPDATE! Week 2 10th - 16th March Paleo meals : 12/14Visited a friends family for the weekend, so missed a couple of meals. Beginner Body Weight Workout : 2/2Runs : 2/3I missed one as it was planned for when I got back from my weekend on Sunday, but we went hiking that day, so I thought nah. Stretches : 7/7Week 3 17th - 23rd March Paleo meals : 14/14Beginner Body Weight Workout : 2/2Runs : 3/3Stretches : 6/7I've been really strong this challenge and everything is feeling more like a habit than a conscious effort, which is awesome. I weighed myself and I have gone from 130lbs to 122.5lbs - which is actually not something I wanted to happen, but as a result of paleo I guess. My longest run was 5.34 miles, which was an amazing run and soooo soooo close to my 6mile goal. I thought that I could definitely achieve that this week, but I ran on Tuesday and it's become obvious that I have shin splints. I figured the best way forward with that is rest. So I'm feeling pretty negative regarding my running right now. Also, pull ups... I would say that I'm more than half way there, but im not sure it's going to happen before the end of this challenge. Oh well, progress is what I am looking for and I'm definitely doing MUCH better than at the beginning of this challenge!!

aaaaahhh, thanks! You've actually got me back on here, which is awesome. I'm doing a second challenge (adventurer) but I've really sucked at updating and doing mini quests. I'll do a mega update now!

I want to see!!! I hope your challenge is going well!

I get this so much because I'm at a normal weight and trying to eat healthy. I'm not trying to lose weight people!! Please stop judging me for eating carrots instead of biscuits!

aaaaaaaaaawweesssoommmmmeee!! I am truly jealous!

I haven't traveled whilst paleo yet, but I have traveled all around Europe and I can tell you that if you're going to be staying in hostels, the majority of places I stayed had kitchens, so if all else fails you can cook! Good luck!

I like spinach fried with bacon in the morning... Or fruit and nuts. I'm trying paleo at the moment, but before that I was ALL about the overnight oats.

Holy crap, thank you!! I'm from the UK but live in Korea, so I have no reminders around me! I totally forgot!

I SUUUUUUUUUck at snacking too, i usually get so hungry at work that as soon as lunch comes around or someone brings in snacks I go mental and eat a loooot. Hows the non-snacking going for you? I'm also trying to figure out my mini-quest. I was thinking handstand or burpees

I did a 5k (my first run ever) in pj shorts with little cartoon faces on them... I didnt realise everyone else would look so pro, haha. Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk 2

Hello! I'm new to adventurers! I'm wondering, do the mini challenges have to be done on the week they're set? Thanks ^^

Aaaaaaahhhh, if only I could get that first one!! I'm working on it!

Week 1 3rd - 9th March Paleo meals : 14/14I actually thought that is would be more difficult at work, because I get lunches that are quite heavy on the rice, processed meat and other carbs, but its actually been pretty easy to adapt the meals and bring in my own paleo snacks, so I'd say that I've pretty much been paleo all week Beginner Body Weight Workout : 2/2Workouts going fine - adding reps and extra exercises gradually. Runs : 3/3I'm having a few hiccups with energy and running, but going to mess around with my carb intake before running and see if that helps. Despite this, I still managed to get my runs in (4.15 miles, HIIT run and a horrible 5 mile run with plenty of stops because of lack of energy). Stretches : 7/7Can't wait till I get them splits!! Week one, done!!

You were spot on, I've kept track of calories the last few days and it looks like im getting around 1200-1400 a day! So I'm going to try and eat more during the day and see how this goes. I'm jealous of your heavy sleep! Although mine has been getting better (maybe I'm getting used to it?). I'm not sure if it's blood sugar because I used to eat cake and chocolate just before sleeping (healthy!) and I'd sleep fine. But I am going to try eating protein before bed like you suggest - this might keep me fuller for longer.

I like the idea of doing bits and pieces of exercise here and there, but I don't have the willpower to do that aaaaaat all!! I think it would be too easy for me to skip. How's it going for you?
